Falling Under by Gwen Hayes

Theia Alderson has always led a sheltered life not allowed the same freedoms as the rest of the teenagers in the small California town of Serendipity Falls. But when a devastatingly handsome boy appears in the halls of her school, she feels every urge she’s ever denied burning through her at the slightest glance from Haden Black. Theia knows she’s seen Haden before—not around town, but in her dreams. Theia doesn’t understand how she dreamed of Haden before they ever met, but every night has them joined in a haunting world of eerie fantasy. And as the Haden of both the night and the day beckons her forward one moment and pushes her away the next, the only thing Theia knows for sure is that the incredible pull she feels toward him is stronger than her fear. And as she slowly discovers what Haden truly is, Theia’s not sure whether she wants to resist him—even if the cost is her soul.      Two Songs that came to mind while reading this book- Can’t Shake You- Gloriana If I Didn’t Have You- Thompson Square   “But Hayden had turned away from the thing he wanted most, to be human, to come for me. I couldn’t fight him, didn’t want to. Instead I gave myself to him and to the dragging tide of his heart. We kissed as our bodies became weightless and we were pulled into another world.    And together we fell under.” 4 ½ Stars. The quote above sums up the whole book. “Falling Under” follows Theia and Hayden’s relationship. At the beginning Hayden didn’t want to be near Theia in case he hurt her. This is perfectly understandable. But relationships are never that easy. Theia and Hayden have an intense force drawing them together. They’ll try to fight against it but it won’t work. So, they stop fighting and they fall in love. Now this is not one of those books where everything is mushy gushy. No, this book has romance, humor, and action. Miss. Hayes has created a world with strong protagonists and antagonists. Her characters are developed and complex. All in all this was an amazing book. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. Next Book- Dreaming Awake.
